Relocation travel
Moving to Australia
Flights and relocation travel for families emigrating, timed around visa dates instead of the other way round.
In Ruaan's words
Why I send people here
This is not a holiday and it should not be booked like one. Emigration flights have a different set of problems: visa grant dates that move, baggage allowances that decide what you can take, one way tickets that some airlines price strangely, and a family that must not be split across a cabin.
I have done enough of these to know where the traps are. Book too early and you are paying change fees when the visa slips. Book too late and the fares have doubled. There is a window, and it moves depending on the visa class.
I am not an immigration agent and I will not pretend to be one. I work alongside yours. What I do is the travel side, properly, so that the day you finally leave is the least stressful part of the whole process.
What makes it
Three things that decide the trip
Baggage first
The allowance decides what comes with you. We work backwards from that, not forwards from the fare.
Flexible until it is not
Held bookings and change friendly fares while the visa is still moving, locked once the date is real.
The last week
Somewhere to stay near the airport, transfers, and one person on the phone while you are in the air.

How it works
What you actually receive
Click the right hand page to turn it. This is the shape of the document that lands in your inbox after we talk, not a brochure.
Before the visa
We map the fare seasons and I tell you what the trip will cost in each window. Nothing is booked.
Grant received
We book inside the window, on a fare that can still move if it has to.
Grant received
Six weeks out
Baggage confirmed, seats together, special assistance and pets arranged with the specialist.
Six weeks out
The last week
Airport accommodation and transfers, so the final night is not spent on a mattress on the floor.
The last week
In the air
My number goes with you. Anything moves, you call me, not a call centre.

Or somewhere else

Shall we plan Moving to Australia?
Four questions, about thirty seconds, and I call you back.
